HOW TO USE:

• Connect Air Supply: Attach your air line to the sander’s 1/4″ NPT air inlet. Ensure your air compressor can provide at least 90 PSI and 11.0 CFM for optimal performance.
• Connect Water Supply: Connect the included 20-foot high-pressure hose to a clean, filtered water source. Ensure the water-bell is properly attached to the hose and the sander’s water inlet.
• Attach Sanding Disc: Securely attach your desired 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding disc to the sander’s pad.
• Adjust Water Flow: Use the infinitely adjustable water control knob on the sander to set the desired water flow rate. Start with a moderate flow and adjust as needed for adequate lubrication.
• Begin Sanding: Place the sander flat against the surface to be sanded. Apply light, even pressure and move the sander in overlapping passes. Allow the random orbital action and water to do the work.
• Monitor Progress: Regularly inspect the sanded surface to ensure desired material removal and finish quality. Adjust water flow or sanding disc grit as necessary.
• Clean Up: After use, disconnect the air and water supplies. Rinse the sander thoroughly with clean water to remove any debris and prevent mineral buildup. Store in a clean, dry place.
